meet.coop: Welcome to meet.coop commons.hour. meet.coop offers a platform for online meetings, powered by renewables, running on libre software, and with a commitment to data privacy and digital safety. Link in the chat: https://meet.coop

commons.hour is a monthly series of collaborative sessions, to share, learn and build a long term foundation for meet.coop in provisioning digital infrastructure under multistakeholder governance. We intend to weave commons and cooperative traditions together, in a way that can be inspirational and transformative. In these sessions we’re seeking an approach that can be reused and tweaked by others. Link: https://meet-coop-1.gitBook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-project

Here’s a colonial language apology: We’re conducting this meeting with English (Spanish, French, etc) as the primary language. We acknowledge that our ability to speak to each other here arises within a history of white supremacy, European and global- North colonial domination, the extermination of peoples and cultures, and economic extraction and enclosure. We aim to make reparation and to transform this continuing regime.

Through commons.hour, our Community circle and Board of stewards, and our work of digital infrastructuring, we mean . .

  • To engage ongoing versions of colonial supremacy and enclosure, and develop practices of resistance and remaking . .

  • To contribute to reparation and to affiliating, federating and organising ‘beyond the fragments’, and

  • To facilitate mutual aid and fairtrade in a coop-commons economy, across global and regional uneven development.

It’s our policy to experiment in specific meetings, to discover good protocols for multi-language meetings.

Today: The focus of today’s session is xxx. Our discussion starter is zzz of xxx; welcome zzz. Over to them: 15minutes. Link in the chat: session background docs in the handbook or NextCloud xxx

Closing script

We’re closing the session now. Thank you all for contributing.

The forum has a thread for continuing exploration of today’s topics. Please do pitch in there, there’s much more to engage with. Link in chat: Forum discussion thread xxx

The room will stay open now for 30 minutes extra time. This is an opportunity for informal check-in, and for any ‘offers and wants’ to be aired. Looking forward to seeing you at another session, the next is Fourth Monday xxx.
